The Big Picture
Now, Haiti Needs Drinking Water More than Ever!!
The earthquake knocked out many neighborhood water tanks, but 28 have survived. However, no water is coming to these tanks from the local water agency.
Our Haitian Director, Dalebrun Ester, has designed a system to supply water. Two big pumps in Cite Soleil and Tabal are producing hundreds of thousands of gallons of water. He is renting 10 water trucks each day to take water from these two pumps to surviving water tanks.
He pays each trucker $100 a day to make 5 trips. With 10 trucks, Dalebrun is delivering 150,000 gallons to poor neighborhoods in the city each day.
Your $100 can hire one truck per day for 15,000 people.
In the first three days after the quake, Dalebrun himself delivered 20,000 gallons using our small truck. But, it is far more effective to rent the trucks of 3000 gallons all day long. With your help, we will fill the surviving tanks, reach neighborhoods with no water access, and even supply schools.
